George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States, passed away today. The two-time vice president under Ronald Reagan lived with vascular parkinsonism for several years. At age 94, Bush was the longest living president in history and an inspiration for others with neurodegenerative disease.
Last week also saw the passing of Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of the animated smash SpongeBob SquarePants, who died at the age of 57. Hillenburg died from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) after revealing last year that he had been diagnosed with the progressive neurodegenerative disease.
Just a few weeks earlier, retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor announced her diagnosis with "the beginning stages of dementia, probably Alzheimer's disease." O'Connor, 88, is the first woman to serve on the high court and has remained active since retiring in 2006. She left the court to care for her husband, John, after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Now, O'Connor says, her condition is forcing her to withdraw from public life.
O'Connor retired from the Supreme Court in 2005 because of her husband's Alzheimer's disease. He died in 2009.
"It's a mild case of Alzheimer's, but not nearly as bad. Alzheimer's is fatal," Turner told journalist Ted Koppel.
Comedian Robin Williams, who died by suicide in 2014, had the same form of brain disease.
Neil Diamond announced his battle with Parkinson's disease just a few months ago. He is retiring to focus on his health.
Of course, these big names aren't the first to battle brain disease and they won't be the last. God bless all of the families ravaged by this growing epidemic. Neurodegenerative disease is the fastest-growing cause of death in the world. It strikes people of all ages. It's ravaging some countries more than others. Unfortunately, there is a growing stack of evidence that Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other brain diseases are transmissible. They also are being misdiagnosed and undiagnosed at an alarming rate. Deadly, self-replicating proteins appear to be one of the common threads. Learn more about the epidemic.

Samsung Galaxy S9 rumors continue to flourish on the web, predicting the improved specifications that will further pull up the hype. The new smartphone will have more of everything the highly saleable predecessor, Galaxy S8 has featured.
The current Galaxy S8 is considered one of the huge milestones of Samsung. Although the existing model has just been launched, the South Korean tech giant has already reported that the new flagship is selling "almost two times faster" than the previous models Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.
It has been reported that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ have already sold more than 1 million units since the new models were launched on April 21. Whereas, the previous S6 and S7 have sold 100 million units in just 75 days.
Now that talks on the successor of the popular Galaxy S8 are already circulating, bigger sales are expected as predictions for the new smartphone are getting more exciting than ever. Speculations say that the tech giant has already partnered with Qualcomm to work on a new processor, Snapdragon 845, based on the second-generation 10nm manufacturing process.
The new Galaxy S9 is also rumored to come with 5.9-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED curved displays. It is also expected to run with the new Android 8.0 "O."
The new flagship is expected to have a dual-camera setup, mounted in front and at the back. The Bixby AI assistant is also expected to be featured in the new smartphone, along with the fingerprint scanner that is embedded on the display.
Reports also say that the new Galaxy S9 has already entered the pre-production stage using the codename "Star." The new flagship will most likely be launched early next year, and the 2018 Mobile World Congress is speculated to host the launch.
Samsung has not released any official details about the anticipated Galaxy S9. These theories must be taken with a grain of salt for the meantime until official press releases are obtained.
Samsung Bixby All Set To Go. Will Make Its Debut On The Samsung Galaxy S8.

Do you sit around wondering why others can make, grow and maintain wealth and you're not quite so fortunate?
People that make money in business do it because they're not only hard-working but also consistent and persistent. They make money their friend, but never the master. Debt, not understanding your finances or continuously chasing the dollar with no real appreciation about how to multiply and maintain it means that money is your master. And, when money is your master, more than likely you have a negative relationship with it. You can get your act together.
When I was a kid growing up, my family didn't have a lot of money. Most families don't have it. Still, some people become very financially successful without the benefit of having their parents instill in them the understanding of how to become wealthy.
I had to learn it in the school of hard knocks, and there are some ideas that I always tell younger people or those who reach out to me wanting to know how to make money, grow it, and more importantly, keep it.
This little piece of wisdom seems obvious, but you would be surprised by the number of people who overspend. According to NerdWallet, in 2017, household debt in the U.S. exceeded $931 billion. The average credit card debt is $15,983 and households owe approximately $133,568, which includes mortgage debt. When, according to the Bureau of Labor Statisticsthe average family earns $865 a week, that kind of debt is excessive in most households.
Lots of people think they can speak about money, but when you dive into the details with them, they're in denial about how much they earn and spend. It feels good, I suppose, to go out and spend with "retail therapy" but the fastest way notto make or maintain money is to misspend it and with little thought. It's essential to be truthful with yourself if you're seeking to build wealth.
If you're looking at your neighbor's new car in the driveway, the chances are that he's in debt. And, he may even be living beyond his means. Forget about what the Jones' are doing. Corporate America did an amazing job of selling the public a bill of goods on having to own the biggest house, car, or whatever else. It's not important. If you want to grow your money, you have to be careful with it. No one cares––except you––if your house is the smallest one in the neighborhood. What matters most is the size of your bank account and investments should you someday need a rainy day fund, find yourself or your family in need of medical care, or heading toward retirement.
I'm a big planner and never assume that the money I'm making today is what I'll be making tomorrow. I take on minimal debt and am always to have a lot of financial room to maneuver, even if I don't use it. If you're in debt and want to move toward financial success, then make today you begin to chip away at the load. Stay at it every week and contribute to the elimination of your debt. Once you've got that done, move on to place a heavy focus on building a nest egg. Do your research and learn about money. There are plenty of resources for the average person to learn about personal money management including Money, NerdWallet, and the countless apps and online courses available.
Finally, always make sure you have at least six months of cash reserves in case of an emergency that prevents you from earning. But, one of the most important lessons to remember in the drive to build and maintain wealth is to make sure that what you're spending your time doing earning it and what you're spending money on aligns with your passions and interests. Money is a good thing, but having a healthy relationship and seeing it as a tool to do more of what you love––in a healthy way––is what will help lead you to your financial goals.

Michigan Republicans, Republican-Fail, Rick Snyder	— December 3, 2013 at 9:25 am
Rick Snyder makes CREW's "Worst Governors in America" list for second straight year
Transparency, schpransparency…
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has released its "Worst Governors in America" list and, for the second year in a row, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder is on it.
This year he is cited for his lack of transparency, particularly with regard to his NERD slush fund, now disbanded, which paid for state employees from donations from undisclosed donors, creating potential conflicts of interest in our state government.
Gov. Snyder claims he established funds to promote social welfare in Michigan, but they've mostly promoted the welfare of his staff and the governor himself.
Shortly after taking office, Gov. Snyder set up three funds in order to accept unlimited corporate donations, including New Energy to Reinvent and Diversify (NERD), a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt group dedicated to "the promotion of civic action and social welfare." However, its 2011 tax filings showed NERD spent more than $130,000 on a security system and furniture for the governor's residences.
Two members of Gov. Snyder's staff have been on the payroll of the NERD fund, including Rich Baird, a "transformation manager" whose consulting firm is paid $100,000 a year. Gov. Snyder is the firm's sole client. When Mr. Baird was subpoenaed to testify in a lawsuit against Gov. Snyder, he claimed executive privilege in refusing to disclose information related to the suit, even though he is paid by undisclosed donors and not on the government payroll.
Elected in 2010; running for reelection in 2014
Used tax-exempt fund that does not disclose its donors to renovate the governor's residences and pay the consulting firm of one of his top staff members
Governor Snyder joins a cast of rather notorious characters around the U.S.A.:

Q: Mostrar um collapse e esconder o outro BOOTSTRAP 4 Achei várias respostas aqui, porém para o bootstrap 3. Até tentei adaptar para o 4 mas sem sucesso.
Estou tentando fazer com que quando mostre um collapse esconda o outro e vice-versa(não posso usar "id" estático pois vai ter várias categorias adicionada pelo usuário então nunca vou saber o id em questão).

$(function () {
      $('.overlay').on('click', function (e) {
          var active = $( e.currentTarget );

              $('.overlay').not(this).removeClass( 'active');
              $('.overlay').not(this).removeClass( 'collapse');
              $(this).addClass( 'active');
          if (active.attr( 'aria-expanded') === 'true') {
              $('.overlay').not(this).addClass( 'collapsed');
              not(active).attr( 'aria-expanded') === 'true';
          }
      });
      $('.title').on('click', function (e) {
          var active = $( e.currentTarget );
              $(this).next().addClass( 'active');
      });

           Anim pariatur cliche reprehenderit, enim eiusmod high life accusamus terry richardson ad squid. Nihil anim keffiyeh helvetica, craft beer labore wes anderson cred nesciunt sapiente ea proident.

A: Cara fiz uma adaptação com o Acordeon e ficou muito bom ao meu ver :D, pois ele tem o funcionamento que vc deseja que é abrir Um e fechar os Outros. Dessa forma sempre terá apenas Um aberto. Inclusive como vc pode ver o Acordeon faz parte do componente Collapse oficial do Bootstrap 4 https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/collapse/#accordion-example
Eu adaptei usando as classes do grid e removendo as classes do Card para ficar mais fácil pra vc ajustar com o seu CSS etc. Veja o exemplo como ficou.
Ele não fica totalmente preso ao ID, digo totalmente porque o próprio mecanismo do Bootstrap que vc está usando usa um atributo data-target="#collapse4" no ativador e um id="collapse4" que é o conteúdo que ele vai mostrar ou esconder. Então mesmo não tendo ID fixos, vc vai precisar usar IDs de alguma forma para o Pai com o data-target="#id" achar o Filho com o id="" entende.
EDIT
Agora adaptei para abrir todas as descrições sempre no mesmo lugar. De qualquer forma o link entre o pai e filho sempre será com o data-target/id porem o elemento com o ID pode estar em qualquer lugar dentro do acordem, então criei uma col-12 para receber esse conteúdo. Deixei comentado no HTML

A greater Chicagoland industrial manufacturer needed to clear out older machines to keep up with new demands, but they struggled with the hassle of individually selling off the used equipment. There were many instances in the past they had to scrap perfectly good machines that could've fetched a profit if marketed, but they simply didn't have the time or the capability. After reaching out to Machinery Marketing International, they were able to set up a managed auction and sell off all of the roughly 80 machines using their large marketing network.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., and FRANKLIN, Mass. (November 29, 2012) - "Black Friday" shoppers couldn't wait until after Thanksgiving Day to hit the malls or the Internet this year.
"It appears that shoppers in growing numbers are taking advantage of the trend by stores to open during the evening of Thanksgiving Day, rather than waiting until early the next morning," said Stan Hollen, President/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services. "The resulting activity increase over both days compared to last year should be encouraging to retailers heading into the holiday season."
Shoppers who belong to credit unions recorded roughly the same buying activity on Black Friday in 2012 as they did in 2011. However, they dramatically increased their transaction and spending levels on Thanksgiving Day 2012 compared to the previous year, according to an analysis of debit card transactions by CO-OP Financial Services and Saylent Technologies.
The analysis found that Black Friday transactions by credit union debit card holders actually decreased by 0.2%, and total dollars spent decreased 3.5%, in 2012 compared to 2011. In a similar survey conducted last year, CO-OP and Saylent found that shoppers made 10.1% more transactions and spent 8.1% more during Black Friday in 2011 than in 2010.
It was a much different story on Thanksgiving Day. Transactions increased 18.8%, and dollars spent increased by an even greater amount, 30.7%, in 2012 compared to the year prior.
For the entire two day period of Nov. 22-23, 2012, total transactions and dollars spent rose modestly year over year - a 6.25% rise in transactions, and a 6.5% rise in dollars spent.
This unique analysis of sales is not an estimate, but is based on more than 5.1 million actual transactions made on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. Drawn from debit card transactions across credit unions processed by CO-OP Financial Services, the year-over-year comparison was performed through an advanced analytics solution, CO-OP Total Revelation, powered by Saylent Technologies, and was conducted by Saylent's Insight360 consulting team.
Thanksgiving Day spending may have increased significantly, but there is no danger of Black Friday being overtaken as the busiest shopping day of the year. Black Friday transactions exceeded that of Thanksgiving Day by 95.1%, while 140.3% more dollars were spent on Black Friday compared to Thanksgiving Day.
The CO-OP and Saylent analysis broke down transaction and spending activity in 20 different types of retail outlets. For Black Friday, the category seeing the highest level of growth was record shops, which included iTunes, Amazon Online Services and Amazon Kindle purchases. Record shops showed a 36.5% increase in transactions, and a robust 25.25% increase in dollars spent.
Discount stores led all retail outlets on Black Friday in terms of transactions and spending, as they did last year. However, transactions were down 13.2% and spending was down 9.7% compared to 2011, suggesting a renewed consumer interest in specialty retailers. One such example is Women's Ready-to-Wear Stores, which showed increases of 12.5% and 13.2% in transactions and sales, respectively, year over year.
"As this year's 'Black Friday' survey demonstrates, CO-OP Total Revelation is a comprehensive tool for understanding debit card usage," said Tyson Nargassans, President and CEO of Saylent Technologies. "Partnering with CO-OP, we can help participating credit unions gain greater insights on their members, so they can better market to and serve them."

Incident response versus threat detection automation has been a hot debate in the IT world. However, these forms of automation should not be pitted against each other. Your cybersecurity team needs both to keep your information as safe as possible.
Incident response automation works when an intrusion has been discovered, and once a threat is verified, it does more than just take remediation action. According to industry experts, incident response can be applied to threat detection system alerts and can pinpoint verified threats. Incident response automation basically assumes the role of a trained cyber analyst.
In an ESG survey of one hundred IT and cybersecurity professionals, 62% said they've already taken action to automate their incident response processes. 35% reported they're either currently engaged in a project to do so, or are planning to initiate an incident response project within eighteen months.
It's key, however, to have incident response automation work side-by-side with threat detection systems, as threat detection systems tend to create a lot of false positive alerts.
An issue with many organizations it that threat detection is not effective at scale. Its false positive alerts can negatively affect incident response efforts downstream.
While these false positive alerts create downtown, they're not nearly as important as false negatives, i.e. incidents that should have been remediated, but were never detected. Threat detection automation helps cyber teams discover these hidden breaches, which is why the need for faster incident response is even greater. Threat detection automation directly impacts incident response automation and downstream results.
IT teams need to understand that there's a linear casualty between threat detection and incident response processes. One needs the other.

Q: Vue 2.7 unit testing of composition api fails with defineProps is undefined I'm trying out vue 2.7 and the composition API to get a feel on how it's like to work with and due to it's better TS type inference.
Building the app works flawlessly now and linting and typechecks are all ok.
My issue is that when I try to run my jest unit test the component mounting fails due to
defineProps being undefined. I have no idea why that would be the case.
This is being run in a large rush monorepo where vue 2.7 is an allowed version, do not know if that is relevant.

The aircraft-carrier Ark Royal set sail for the Gulf and 1,500 reservists were called up. Mr Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, said in a speech to a conference of more than 100 British ambassadors that Britain should remain the closest ally of the United States. 'The price of British influence is not, as some would have it, that we have, obediently, to do what the US asks,' he said. 'But the price of influence is that we do not leave the US to face the tricky issues alone.' He thought that the United States should listen to opinions on the Middle East, global poverty, global warming and the United Nations. Six men from North Africa were arrested in London under the Terrorism Act 2000, and some material recovered by police from premises in Wood Green, north London, was found to contain the poison ricin. A man was charged with the murder of three women after parts of bodies were found in his flat and in the street at Camden Town in London. A man ran wild with two hatchets, injuring three people at Waltham Abbey and smashing a reredos by William Burges and other fittings in the Abbey church. A man escaped from a flat in Hackney, in east London, where he had been held hostage by a man with firearms for 11 days while the building was surrounded by armed police. A man was shot dead at the wheel of his car in Sheffield. Two young black women, Letisha Shakespear and Charlene Ellis, were shot dead in the early hours during a party at a hairdresser's at Aston, in Birmingham, where two gangs mixed up in drugs, the Burger Bar Boys and the Johnson Crew, had been vying for control. Mr David Blunkett, the Home Secretary, said that a new law would impose a minimum sentence of five years for the possession of a gun; in 2001, 757 people were convicted of such offences, and the average sentence was about 18 months. Lord Jenkins of Hillhead, who as Roy Jenkins served as home secretary and chancellor of the exchequer in Labour administrations before becoming a co-founder of the Social Democratic Party in 1981, died, aged 82. Mr Mark Bolland resigned as a public relations consultant to the Prince of Wales, though he will continue to advise Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles.
Two men blew themselves up, killing 23 others and wounding more than 100 in Tel Aviv, the first suicide bombing since November. In response Israel closed three Palestinian universities, including Birzeit, and prevented Palestinian delegates attending a conference called by the British government in London. President George Bush of the United States told 4,000 troops at Fort Hood, Texas, that in the event of war against Iraq, 'you'll be fighting not to conquer anybody, but to liberate people.' United Nations weapons inspectors in Iraq set up headquarters at the Nineveh Palace Hotel in Mosul, Iraq; President Saddam Hussein of Iraq accused the inspectors of 'asking workers questions that are not what they seem and gathering information about army camps and legitimate military production'. President Laurent Gbagbo of Ivory Coast and leaders of rebels in the north of the country agreed to hold peace talks in Paris after a visit by Mr Dominique de Villepin, the French foreign minister. Mr Jean-Claude Trichet, the governor of the Bank of France, who hopes to take over the presidency of the European Central Bank, went on trial with eight others on charges arising from the government rescue of CrZdit Lyonnais in 1992 and 1993. Mr Rolandas Paksas, a former prime minister of Lithuania who founded the slightly right-wing Liberal Democratic party in 2000, beat President Valdas Adamkus to become the new President. Supplies reached Tikopia, in the Solomon Islands, which Cyclone Zoe had devastated with 200mph winds and 30ft waves; the 1,300 people survived by sheltering on high ground. The chairman of the fourth-division Romanian football club Steaua, Nicolae Balcescu, announced plans to stop fans invading the field by installing crocodiles in the moat around it.


This is a Park Flyer grade airframe most popularly enjoy by VLOS flying around the club field or designed to fly around small park. Mini size frame wing spanned at 960mm powered using small 1300mah 3s 35c max. Originally manufactured by ART-TECH sold the model as "P-51D Mustang" as RTF. Re-branded version available at HobbyKing.com as PNF which slash the price by half making it more affordable but some nice scale decals are missing and extra Hobby King label are stamped on the back fuselage which user can manually removed easily by peeling. By late 2013 the latest batch at HK site include optional retract bay and flaps ready. The inspiration to fly it as scale FPV platform came from my childhood dream: "I love Mustang and i dream to fly one someday".
As a normal park flying VLOS its a fun and floaty plane to fly. Enough power to do radical aerobatic maneuver almost 70% what my PITTS SPECIAL can do and both came from the same manufacturer with completely the same flight hardware setup (except Pitts have single 1x servo for 4x ailerons as opposed to 2x servo on Mustang).
Its not easy to build and setup FPV inside such a narrow and slender fuselage. Getting the right CG (Center Gravity) placement to avoid "Pendulum effect" is a cautionary where builder should not ignore. The airframe by manufacturer specification only allow fitting of max 1300mah 3s lipo, however further research through on-line r/c community the airframe able to accept bigger more capacity lipo pack at optimal 2200mah 3s 35 size on its nose cavity thus the power provide 1.2kg of thrust through its upgraded huge 4 bladed scale propeller. The remaining sensitive electronic hardware are located at further rear tail to compensate the overall CG, to distance RF interference and placed almost lower baseline of axial roll CG. Unwanted RF interference are lowered by removing unwanted metal or solid object and uses thin wire to reduce current wastage, light weight and RF influences. Most of my build works concentrating removing redundant wires, pin, plugs and remove other unnecessary weight to make the total flying weight of the airframe lighter, floaty, less weight inertia during dive impact and improve overall motor thrust stamina. Since i like to keep my plane looks as scale as possible, all hardware and modules are well hidden inside fuselage & away from normal external view to preserve the original looks of a real P-51D Mustang without looking ugly with protruded cameras, antenna and etc like typical FPV glider setup that ruin the ecstatic looks of genuine War-birds, at the same time keep things aerodynamic for the airflow.
Just like my Drifter Ultralight this mustang also installed with ARKBIRD OSD/GPS/RTH as my fail safe and insurance against signal loss or anything beyond my control since i like to fly long distance. This system will take control autonomously or autopilot mode if radio and video signal are lost and make a "U-turn" back to my control.
Critical issues during installation: Keeping the weight to minimal and crampy/narrow fuselage.
If flying an FPV glider is like driving a TOYOTA PRIUS then i must say flying this P-51D Mustang is like driving a LAMBORGHINI DIABLO of the skies. Rare and exotic FPV airframe ever to grace over the clouds. It has surplus of power and endurance to travel far places and easily climb at any altitude at will, survived the most harsh humid weather condition ever encounter by any platform and the smallest airframe to gain the same flight characteristic and achievement of common bigger sized FPV/UAV platform in the market. Yet it uses only smaller amount of power supply to sustain throughout the flight when compare against bigger platform that uses more than 3300mah >> 6000mah at 4s configuration wing spanned at minimal 1.4 meter at 1.5~2kg. This platform break the common traditional FPV beliefs that smaller non-glider like plane not able to FPV longer range, this airframe proved the opposite.
When i first time fly FPV in scale War bird behind the cockpit, the aura of FPV flying is completely different than conventional FPV glider like platform. Since i'm flying like what real pilot does in cockpit seating position; the view are very restricted especially the frontal nose obstruction, ground viewing is limited, judging the AOA level is difficult, difficult to take-off & land, unpredictable "sink-rate" and ground proximity flight is very challenging. Recommended FPV pilot to pilot this plane are the ones that have experience flying a low winged FPV plane or at least experienced on a "Super Cub" like platform. When it comes to long range flight and ability to bail out from harsh weather condition the P-51D Mustang took 1st place among my fleet of FPVs with ES Drifter in 2nd and Pitts comes in 3rd. Its the Jack of all trades.
The only cautionary tips i can give is FPV pilot must aware of "negative pendulum effect" where the axial CG point is mostly above the wings which it is very typical for this war-bird model. It will tends to go upside down if roll countering is not constantly monitored and controlled. Usually happens when pilot lost "horizontal reference view" of the environment horizon especially inside the fog, haze, clouds, cockpit wet condensation or anything that blocked the VFR visual range from inside the cockpit. AP assisted flight using gyro or any form of stabilization is only temporal counter measure regardless if its at RATE MODE or HEAD LOCK. Still FPV pilot manual flight skills is highly compulsory especially if intended to fly further beyond visual range. AOA and Sink Rate must also added to the cautionary list.
Caution also required that this platform best to be flown in open area away from urban population; best flown over huge bodies of ocean, open rivers and big open field and forest cleared from aviation traffic.
If you intend to use HK HEXTRONIK HXT900 9g servo or TOWER PRO equivalent servo on your aileron be sure a small amount of aileron countering control doesn't "peak spiked" the current (A) from BEC/UBEC into "Brown-out" because this popular budget servo known to be heavy duty and uses high amount of current to actuate the servo movement especially small increment turn because low winged plane like this P-51D mustang need more active servo movement and current flowing to the servo thus increase core-less brushed motor wear and tear during constant roll countering. Stock low powered servo once worn out or "Locked" it will likely to soft center back to 0 degree on its aileron, high powered budget servo would likely or 70% possibility locked outside 0 degree angle on the aileron causes the plane to roll which happens a lot on my glider with upgrade powerful budget servo such as HXT/TOWER PRO so be careful on your servo selection. Unlike the Drifter and Pitts, Mustang have one servo per-aileron which results that the aileron forces only countering the servo horn one way only and there's no natural load countering to oppose the other side. The analogy is; like you got pull by two girlfriends from both side with same amount of force on the arm but remains stationary position on the ground,.. instead of one girlfriend pull on one side only ended you sway and fall into her side. So be calculative about the servo load before you going to invest into long range goal. Any high or spiked current load will trigger to BEC to shutdown into "Brown-out" and put your plane into "Dead stick", always do some calculation and reserve as much current reserved for overall FPV operation on board the Mustang.
Fast altitude climber and diver.
Straight line stability undeterred by wind turbulence.
Flexible control, aerobatic and maneuverability.
Excellent fast long range platform in comparison to size ratio.
Highly endurance and floatability of P-51D Mustang airframe when compare against other similar airframe design in the market.
Pilot will need more VLOS and FPV flight experience compare to normal FPV flight before flying this airframe. IFR also a huge importance.
Does not glide well nor self leveling the wings and nose angle regardless even if artificially or electronically assisted, will need constant pilot control and flight judgment.
Low visibility flight inside the cockpit. 35~50% of useful in flight FPV view, especially during low altitude flight, ground tracking and landing. Need to see where you going through side windows which is awkward for general FPV pilot. However this FPV is fall in the category of "Scale FPV piloting"... fly it like a real plane.
In some situation where visibility is bad IFR flight play a vital role, your pocket burner OSD is going to be your best friend throughout the flight.
Airframe have negative or inverted "Pendulum CG", you're more likely to roll more during lost orientation or moment of low visibility when there no horizon to indicate your axis leveling.
The P-51D Mustang is most challenging FPV platform to fly even in the hands of seasonal FPV pilot. Most people like me wanted to fly this War-bird it is because i like to appreciate the beauty of scale models and the joy being partial part of real aviation experience. Flying inside the cockpit simulating the real flying experience with cockpit view, dashboards, wings and moving mechanism replicating like real planes is the reason why R/C modelers fly them, love and exhibit them in the hangar and most importantly reasons become an R/C pilot modeler enthusiast.
Its take lots of patient, time, effort and lots of learning curve, building experience and flying skill sets to perfecting my "scale" flying because the skills set of flying a scale model behinds a cockpit versus a stable glider with full un-obstructed view are completely two different worlds just like riding a bicycle versus driving a truck. One thing for sure once you get the hang of it and successfully flown hours of flights through various altitude, height, climate, perfect landings and all the rough challenges you're more likely to reach the Pinnacle of FPV flying. "Scale" FPV flying is the top of R/C FPV food chain.
Medical check-up and diagnostic flight at medium range completed after 204 hours of total flight hours for almost 3 years of FPV flight operation to check the health condition of the plane. Reveals left aileron servo twitching randomly which sign of worn out. Immediate replacement has been done with the same servo specification. Tail landing gear loose but minor effect on ground handling. Transparent canopy fade slightly yellow sign of old material aging. Video as shown here: FPV P-51D Mustang - 2015 diagnostic & maintenance day.
FPV on P-51D Mustang is a huge head turner, not only it an exotic air frame but also attract War-birds enthusiast and make the crowds goes ohhh!! and ahhh!! Flying a piece of history not only epic but its brought all the glider based FPV competitor down to its knees with its beautiful scale colorfully decorated airframe both range and performance records, you get to have a cool selfie up in the air too. But the epicness will end if you put a Go-Pro on it because it doesn't tolerate extra weight nor have enough space to put serious HD cams. Even a MOBIUS HD camera could bog its performance down. Just like the PITTS SPECIAL this P-51D Mustang is extremely small and narrow airframe so setup can be very tricky for intermediate FPV builder. This platform is best to be flown only by experience FPV pilot and with proper FPV system on board to guarantee flawless and safe flight. Unlike flying an FPV glider, the performance of scale airframe such as the Mustang is defined by how the pilot handles the plane not by automation system of sophisticated AP system or airframe alone; too high AOA will increase the drag causes power wastage, too slow will have unnoticeable "sink rate" and pilot need high level of alertness & readiness to counter yaw and roll since its a "negative" pendulum CG. Inexperience FPV pilot will likely to have 'upside down' incident after exited out from the fog, clouds or low visibility incident regardless if your OSD have AHI, gyro assisted or not. So if you have high intention to fly a low winged scale War-bird make sure you don't skip your homework. Earn some basic flight both VLOS and FPV medals first, experiences and researches before entering Pro zone. The next level is the Pitts Special.

Rich The Kid – The World Is Yours 2 [Apple Music]
"I don't do no relaxing," Rich The Kid says on "Splashin" from The World Is Yours 2.
It's a weird flex to be sure, but not all that hard to believe when you consider the Atlanta MC's extensive collaborative resume, along with the leaps he's made in visibility since the days of his Rich Forever compilation mixtapes. Oh, and then there are his responsibilities as head of the Rich Forever record label. But Rich is looking out for number one on The World Is Yours 2, both literally and figuratively—he is aiming squarely for the charts. "On this album it's like I wasn't just making records," he told Beats 1's Zane Lowe. "I'm making hit records back to back to back. You might have somebody drop an album that only have one or two hits. You've never seen an album with this many hit records on it."
Not since The World Is Yours anyway, whose "New Freezer" with Kendrick Lamar served as a coming-out party of sorts for the rapper. Just like its predecessor, The World Is Yours 2 is full of familiar faces: There are tandem features including Young Thug and Gunna ("Fall Threw"), Offset and Big Sean ("Two Cups"), Miguel and Ty Dolla $ign ("Woah"), and Jay Critch and A Boogie wit da Hoodie ("Like Mike"), along with additional appearances from NAV, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and newcomer Vory. The album's title may tell us that the world is ours, but if we're to take anything from the Rich The Kid philosophy, it's that it was also meant to be shared.

Too bad the Missouri AD didn't. Oiy vey, gevalt!
And that's all I'm gonna say about THAT!
Honoka Ikematsu's ability to shoot separated her from the pack as a high school basketball player in Kumamoto, Japan. She possessed an American shooting style, using one hand to guide the ball and her second hand to push it, in a country where many players use both hands to push the ball.
That form gave the Robert Morris coaching staff confidence that Ikematsu would have a relatively painless transition into American basketball.
Still not distracted by the polls, TCU handles Iowa State, 75-52.
Whoa! Two overtimes, and St. Louis comes out with a win over Fordham, 91-85.
It was a squeaker, but North Carolina A&T got by Norfolk State, 53-51, to move to 7-0 in the MEAC.
Duquesne v. Dayton… and it's Dayton with the 79-70 win to stay perfect in the A10.
A win is a win. #8 Texas over Kansas, 55-41.
Nothing like a good stomping to help you feel better about yourself: #18 Ohio State over Penn State, 94-64.
Central Michigan stays undefeated in the MAC, taking down challenger Buffalo, 86-79.
In the Mountain West, a battle between Wyoming and Colorado State. The Rams got the (upset?) win over the Cowgirls, 64-53.
6:30: #12 Tennessee v. #14 Texas A&M. The Vols try and right the ship.

8pm: Michigan v. Purdue. The Wolverines try and keep their run going against the (occasionally) upset-minded Boilermakers.
8pm: #17 Georgia v. LSU. Speaking of upset-minded….
8pm: Nebraska v. Illinois. The Huskers aren't ranked (yet), but this game likely won't garner them the voters' attention – unless they lose.
8pm: Western Illinois v South Dakota. If the Leathernecks want the upset, they'll have to do it on the Coyotes' home.
8:30: #2 Mississippi State v. #15 Missouri. What's the Tigers' post-kerfuffle mood?
9:00: Gonzaga v. San Diego. The Bulldogs have quietly moved to 9-0 in the WCC.
Barry Hinson saw most of Jackie Stiles' 3,394 points when they were both at Missouri State University, which was then known as Southwest Missouri State.
Stiles, a 5-foot-8 guard from Kansas City, Kansas, took the Lady Bears to the 2001 Final Four and was the NCAA's all-time women's scorer until Washington guard Kelsey Plum broke her record last season. She later played in the WNBA. Now Hinson is trying to be with Stiles in spirit, as she prepares for surgery this week for ocular melanoma.
SIU's men's basketball team wore black shooting shirts before tipping off against Missouri State in Springfield Saturday that said "Fight Love Pray" on the front and "Stiles 10" on the back.
The WNBA Free Agency period opens February 1, giving teams the first opportunity to begin making roster moves ahead of April's Draft. Some franchises will look to secure key players. Others seek role players who can provide the missing piece to contention.
— granted, I ran a Professional Development, drove to Boston to see my mom, got to hear the amazing Bill Charlap trio, ate bacon, and saw my college roomie, so it was a GOOD weekend for me. But dang, did women's basketball have a weekend!
Flashing back… That Baylor v. Texas game was kind of a dud. Unless you were a Baylor fan. Kristy Wallace leads way for Baylor on emotional night. Explains why Wallace was named espnW's player of the week.
Something's up in #21 Georgia (like their ranking?). Dawgs downed the #11 Tigers, 62-50.
We knew #12 Ohio State's lack of defense was a sore point… but giving up 103 to unranked Iowa? Ouch.
Shall we say Maryland lost their focus after their big win over the Buckeyes? Terps escaped Northwestern by 3.
'cause we know in-state rivalries are the BEST. South Dakota took down the Wabbits, 67-61. Coyotes are now 7-0 in the Summit.
Things went pretty much as expected on Friday... except for Stanford whomping #24 Arizona State, 74-50. And St. Peter's getting their first MAAC win of the season!
Drexel is making a statement, taking down Elon, 58-56, and moving to 7-1 in the CAA.
Saturday, Kelsey Mitchell became the Big Ten's all-time leading scorer as Ohio State got a desperately needed win over Michigan State, outscoring the Spartans by 13 in the fourth to win by 14.
Disappointing to see Rutgers continue it's Big Ten slump. They fall to Indiana, 64-58.
Mercer stays undefeated in the Southern, overwhelming Chattanooga in the third quarter to cruise to the 71-50 win.
Belmont is just roaring through the OVC. If (more like "when") they make the Tournament, I pity the team who faces them.
Whoops! Portland gets its first WCC win, beating St. Mary's, 68-65.
UC Davis moves to 7-0 in the Big West, coming from behind to beat an improving Santa Barbara, 69-63.
Sunday was nobody's day of rest.
#3 Baylor waited until the second half to get going, finally putting away #20 West Virginia, 83-72.
#5 Notre Dame continues to make the case for McGraw as COY, smothering #8 Florida State, 100-69.
Took ya long enough, Sabrina. Sheesh! Ionescu gets her 9th triple-double9th triple-double as the #7 Ducks defeated Utah, 84-68.
Ummm…going 14-27 on free throws would probably mean defeat for most teams. But if you balance that with crashing the boards and grabbing 23 – count'em: 20. 3. offensive rebounds, you give yourself a chance. And that's exactly what LSU did v. #10 Tennessee, winning 70-59.
Sooooo, I guess these if you look up "chippy" in the dictionary, you'll see a video clip of South Carolina v. Missouri. Lot's of pre-game stoking of the fires of discontent, and they flared. Tied with about four minutes left, Gamecocks pulled away for the win, 64-54.
Yes! Iona gets its first win of the season.
I can't figure Virginia out. Can you? They're at 8-1 in the ACC.
You might assume someone who has been playing Division I sports nonstop since August and is also a top-notch student in anthropology wouldn't have much time to read for fun.
But Peyton Williams currently has seven books going. The Kansas State volleyball and basketball standout was reading four of them while at home in Topeka, Kansas, during a brief holiday break. She left those there and took three new ones for the Wildcats' first post-break road trip, a four-hour bus ride to Oklahoma State.
"I'm a book-book person," Williams said, referring to her preference for the real thing, rather than the electronic version.
There is an old adage, perhaps equal parts truth and cynicism, that maintains that history is written by the victors. But you could say of women's basketball, history is written — and has been made by — the persistent.
The facts aren't always as readily available, the stories typically not as well-known. But they are especially meaningful if you get to talk to the people who lived them.
Such was the case Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse, as the women's basketball teams from Kansas and Kansas State met for 117th time.
When Randi Henderson accepted the job as head women's basketball coach at Washington University, she expected challenges.
After all, she was taking over for Hall of Famer Nancy Fahey, who stepped down last March to take the job at the University of Illinois. In 31 seasons with the Bears, Fahey's teams went 737-133 (.847 winning percentage), won 23 conference titles and made 29 NCAA Division III tournament appearances. Her squads made 10 Final Fours and captured national championships in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2010.
"One of the first things I wanted to make clear was that Coach Fahey and I have very similar visions for this program — to win championships,'' Henderson said.
OZY: Is the WNBA Ready for This College Star (Wilson)?
I think we can all agree that #12 Ohio State is somewhat allergic to defense, but honestly, who had the scout on Christinaki? #14 Maryland squashed the Buckeyes, staking a claim to the Big 10 title and setting the Columbus locals to thinking about their aspirations for Final Four… a 30-pt loss?
Around the corner, #16 Michigan said, "Don't overlook us," as they dismantled Michigan State, 74-48.
The victory…snapped a four-game losing streak to the Spartans (14-7, 4-4).
"They try and remind me to enjoy the moment sometimes, because as a coach, you are always looking to the next game, and sometimes you don't sit back and look how far you've come," said Michigan sixth-year head coach Kim Barnes Arico after Tuesday's win.
Yes, I see (soon to be ranked?) Nebraska, winning 75-51 over Purdue. Coach Williams as Conference COY, anyone?
The galloping Cowgirls got tripped up by Iowa State, 78-69. Thanks to Bridget Carleton's career-high 39 points, the Cyclones outscored #19 Oklahoma State 30-17 in the fourth quarter. Ouch.
Stinky news for West Virginia's Tynice Martin, but I don't know that anyone's really surprised. Didn't stop the Mountaineers from handling Texas Tech, 82-52.
#24 TCU made sure their first ranking since 2010 didn't go to their head, defeating Kansas, 68-63.
In a match up of Patriot heavyweights, Bucknell came out ahead. Navy and the Bison both sit at 6-3. They join Lehigh, who got upset by Loyola (MD), 67-64, on a last-second three by Alexis Gray. Of course, they're all chasing American, now 8-0 in conference play.
Well, lookee here! Stephen F. Austin continues to grow in the Southland. They defeat perennial conference-boss Central Arkansas, 59-46, and move to 7-0 in the conference.
YES!!!! Air Force gets their first win of the season, 57-50 over Utah State. Iona, you're next!
By the time a freshman plays in the NCAA tournament, she isn't really a freshman anymore. At least that's the adage. Accumulated wisdom is supposed to shape her into something more like the player she will be as a sophomore than the naive new arrival of the previous fall.
Its freshman class at the forefront of a resurgence with the promise to end a decade-long Final Four drought, Tennessee had reason to hope there was a kernel of truth to the line after a 15-0 start this season. Following a brutal four-game stretch that included a meltdown at Notre Dame and a blowout loss against Mississippi State, that adage becomes a necessity for Rennia Davis, Anastasia Hayes and Evina Westbrook.
Listen Up! LaChina Robinson and Terrika Foster-Brasby gear up for We Back Pat Week by chatting with Tennessee's Jaime Nared, Mercedes Russell and Lady Vol great Tamika Catchings. Plus, WBB analyst Brenda VanLengen talks Big 12.
I went to my first basketball practice when I was 9, living in Houston. It was my older sister Nneka's first practice too. We both showed up wearing jean shorts, halter tops, glasses and Keds sneakers. We had no idea what we were doing. I ran to hide in the bathroom, crying while Nneka stumbled through practice — she's always been the more curious one, while I want to win at everything I do. I made her play me one-on-one at home after every practice. She was basically my first coach.
Nneka and I both play in the WNBA now, and our two younger sisters, Olivia and Erica, are pre-med students who play basketball at Rice. We never could have imagined that basketball would change our lives. Most of the Nigerian parents I knew had very strict ideas about child-rearing: You went to school, got good grades and came back home. That was it, that was your childhood. Any child who didn't aspire to be a doctor or lawyer had a lot of explaining to do.
Last Saturday's 113-75 victory over Northwood in front of 242 fans in Livonia, Michigan, was the 19th of the season and the 56th straight.
Ashland broke the NCAA Division II record with its 52nd consecutive win back on Jan. 6, surpassing the string put together by Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, in 2005-06.
Coach Robyn Fralick and her players are perfectly polite but somewhat indifferent about the reporters and TV crews visiting campus since they broke the record. They know this team has been good for a long time.
Now hush – #6 Texas is playing #3 Baylor….
Both A'ja Wilson and Tyasha Harris returned to the line up, and #10 South Carolina easily handled Kentucky, 81-64.
#1 UConn returns to form (sans Samuelson) and plucked the Owls.
Mississippi State's 72-52 win over the Vols finally gave viewers a chance to measure the Bulldogs against a ranked team (Oregon's been the only one they've faced). They look impressive, don't they? Seasoned and solid.
"Today for us, it was about toughness and competitive spirit," Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer said.
Schaefer referenced the location, the opponent and the occasion in complimenting his team. The victory occurred on "We Back Pat" day, an annual event to honor the late Pat Summitt and raise awareness for the former Tennessee coaching legend's foundation and the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
Notre Dame took on Clemson and there was not one smidge of drama involved.
Soooo, Florida State started shaky and, to be honest, it was looking like it was going to be a Louisville blowout. But the Seminoles regained their balance, and slowly clawed back. And then everybody decided to JUST STOP SCORING. Eventually, the 14,248 attendees at the YUM watched FSU give the Cardinals their first loss of the season…*squints* 50-49.
Not sure how to categorize UNC's 92-86 OT win over #16 Duke. Surprising? Huge? Season shifting? Or was it just a product of in-state-rivalry pride? Pick whichever suits, but celebrate if you're a Tar Heel named Paris Kea.
Glad I warned'em! Cal escapes with a 3-point win over USC, 62-59.
Marquette tries to settle things down in the Big East by downing Villanova, 67-57.
The women's team is loaded with skill. It feeds off its fearless leader, Chassidy Omogrosso, who, pound for pound, is the best basketball player in the city. The team feeds off her energy but certainly isn't a one-man show. Burt has assembled a perfect mix of international and local players.
Elon says to the Blue Hens, "Don't get cocky," 64-51.
IUPUI stakes a claim to the second spot in the Horizon rankings with their 64-61 win over Wright State. Of note: WSU retired Kim Demmings' jersey.
Demmings, a 2011 Richmond High School graduate, graduated from Wright State in 2016, after scoring 2,677 points, the most in Horizon League women's basketball history and in Wright State men's or women's basketball.
"She is incredible as a person and a player, and she will be an amazing coach," Richmond High School girls basketball coach Casey Pohlenz said in a text message.
Wichita State says, "They don't call us the 'Shockers' for nothing," takes down South Florida, 64-56.
*All Sing* Fi-na-lly! Coach Graves' #7 Ducks get the win over #18 Oregon State – first time in the last 15 tries.
Gophers got game. They take down #20 Iowa, 77-72.
7pm: LSU v. #15 TAMU. Been kinda topsy-turvy for the Aggies. Just in time, coach Blair sits in the Coach's Chair.
Can you talk about your experience coaching at Louisiana Tech, at the dawning of women's collegiate basketball?
Sonja Hogg is the first lady of college basketball: she knew how to dress, how to press, and she knew how to recruit. Leon Barmore was the Bobby Knight of women's basketball. I was in the middle of that with recruiting. All three of us were six months apart in age. It worked, and I don't know if it could ever work again with the egos that the three of us had. My job was to massage the egos.
It was back then Old Dominion, Louisiana Tech, Long Beach State, Western Kentucky and Cheney State that were the big dogs. Those were the programs, and then they died out to start the 1980's. You could get it done at those smaller venues back then. We would pack them in to the old field house, and after two years when we won National Championships, we moved (the venue) to the new assembly center. Karl Malone was playing at Louisiana Tech at that time. We opened that arena in the 1983-84 season and we played Cheryl Miller and USC in the opening round (of the NCAA Tournament) and we got beat at home. You could tell Cheryl was the next coming. She was the first 6-3 kid who could play all five positions. She was ahead of her time.
Bracketology time! And some words from Charlie.
Often that means shutting down the other team's best player. It's a thankless task — unless you're senior guard Emma Stach, who wouldn't have it any other way.
You want to talk about someone who lived every day of her life with purpose, it was Chameka Scott. She was such a joy to talk to, the positive energy just flowed from her. It's so unfair she's been taken at such a young age, with all she had to offer the world.
This woman was the best of the best, and won't be forgotten by anyone lucky enough to have interacted with her. Thanks for all the courage and spirit you showed in your life, Chameka.
Friday saw all sorts of fun-ness.
Utah doubled up #22 Arizona State in the fourth quarter to eek out the 2-point upset.
#18 Oregon State's Kat Tudor made seven 3-pointers (career-high 34 points) to help lift the Beavers to an OT win over #7 Oregon. Ionescu, who forced overtime by hitting a 3-pointer with 3.5 seconds left in regulation, led all scorers with 35 points. Gotta love those in-state rivalries!
Speaking of which – #21 Cal kept it a tight one with the #13 Bruins, but eventually UCLA earned the 60-52 win.
Soooo…. about the Big East. Butler over Creighton. Georgetown STOMPS Marquette. Villanova double stomps DePaul. What is going on?
Saturday, everyone pretty much stuck to form (Yes, #24 OSU squeaked by Oklahoma and North Dakota stunned Northern Colorado) giving us plenty of time to catch up on some reading.
Scoring is what Flaherty, now with 2,478 career points, has always done. She never has been the biggest or most athletic. She has faced exotic defenses — box-and-ones, triangle-and-twos — throughout her life.
Yet none of that seems to stop her.
The Astonishing's Interview with Women's Basketball Great Pokey Chatman!
12pm: Marquette v. Villanova. It's the Big East, so I have not a clue.
12pm: George Mason (4-1) v. Duquesne (5-0). Interesting A-10 matchup.
12pm: #10 South Carolina v. Kentucky. This might have been more interesting in past years, but injuries are the wildcard.
But while both teams have plenty of their own issues to deal with, there's no overlooking the intense, sometimes heated rivalry between the two programs.
1pm: Delaware (5-1) v Elon (3-3). Just keeping an eye on the Blue Hens.
2pm: IUPUI v. Wright State. Both are wannabes to Green Bay's Horizon crown.
With 2,677 points, Kim Demmings isn't just the most prolific scorer to wear a WSU uniform, she's the Horizon League's all-time top scorer in women's basketball and is ranked as the No. 34 all-time scorer in NCAA Division I women's basketball history.
The 5-foot-8 guard was the Horizon League's newcomer of the year as a freshman and as a junior she was named the Horizon League's player of the year, was MVP of the conference tournament and led WSU to its only NCAA Tournament berth.
2:30: #15 Duke v. North Carolina. Neighbors going at it.
The last time the Blue Devils started 0-2 in ACC play was the 1992-93 season, when they began conference play 0-9. Since getting off to the same two-game start this season, however, Duke has made sure that history doesn't repeat itself.
The No. 15 Blue Devils will roll into Carmichael Arena to face North Carolina Sunday afternoon riding a four-game winning streak after dropping their first two conference games. Duke has beaten the Tar Heels by a combined 60 points in the past two meetings between the rival programs in Chapel Hill, including a 95-71 blowout last year.
3pm: #3 Mississippi State v. #6 Tennessee. Can MSU stay unbeatenunbeaten? How do the Vols recover from an awful loss? AP: Turnovers Bothering No. 6 Lady Vols During Difficult Stretch.
Three days after committing 28 turnovers to blow a 23-point lead at No. 5 Notre Dame , Tennessee (16-2, 4-1 SEC) is back home Sunday to face No. 3 Mississippi State (19-0, 5-0). Tennessee has the second-highest turnover total in the SEC, while Mississippi State leads the conference in turnover margin.
Tennessee hasn't done that often enough.
4pm: #21 California v. USC. Overlook USC at your own peril.
5pm: #12 Florida State v. #2 Louisville. Am I wrong to feel like FSU has been shaky this year (they only have 2 losses)? Huge crowd at the YUM Center for this game.
6pm: Nebraska v. #25 Rutgers. Gotta win if you want to stay ranked.
The national #MeToo movement seems like a sudden wildfire, but within the Olympic world sexual abuse has been a decades-long slow burning fuse. Sexual abuse of Olympic athletes, unfortunately, is neither new nor surprising for those of us who have seen and experienced it firsthand during our athletic and professional careers. It's an issue that has only been exacerbated by U.S. Olympic Committee and National Sports Governing Bodies policies that are designed to deflect from civil liability.
Are you not THOROUGHLY entertained!
So, everything was falling into place for #6 Tennessee's first win over #5 Notre Dame in a loooong time. Big lead – but on the Irish's home court. When slowly, inexorably, McGraw's team started chipping away. The Vols couldn't get the ball in to Russell or hold on to the ball (too many turnovers), and fell apart under Notre Dame's onslaught. The result? The greatest successful comeback in Notre Dame women's basketball history culminated in a 14-point win.
Unfortunately for Notre Dame, much of the Irish's narrative this season has been summed up by three awful letters: A-C-L. Coach Muffet McGraw's basketball team has been hit so hard by knee injuries — four players are sitting out with them — that you half-expect a knee brace to be added to the Fighting Irish's leprechaun logo.
But what they did Thursday in a table-turner for the ages against Tennessee — from down 23 to winning 84-70 — wasn't just the "fight" part of the Irish in a never-give-up sense. They fought to establish what has become a staple of McGraw's program: a smart, efficient, dependable offense.
Meanwhile, Penn State got the upset win over #25 Rutgers after Teniya Page (34pts) made 4 of 5 free throws with a second left (Getting T'd up can be brutal). That's their first win over a ranked team this year.
#2 Louisville got three quarters of doggedness from Pittsburgh, and then put the Panthers away in the fourth.
#1 UConn beat Tulsa by 18, but don't talk to Geno about it. Fans Deserve Money Back After 'Disgraceful Effort' Vs. Tulsa. Pity them at their next practice. Pity their next opponent.
#10 South Carolina is still without A'Ja Wilson or Mikiah Herbert Harrigan, and Vandy tried to take advantage. Nope, said Alexis Jennings (27pts), as the Gamecocks win, 95-82.
Told ya to keep an eye on Wake Forest. #12 Florida State (missing starting point guard AJ Alix because of the flu) had to stage a furious comeback in the fourth quarter to get the game into OT. The Seminoles prevailed in the extra quarter and escaped with a two-point win, 81-79.
Make that 25-in-a-row. Behind Haley Gorecki's career-high 28 points and Lexie Brown's, #15 Duke made sure Virginia Tech stayed put, 86-75.
Hmmm… A picture in time: UConn, Mississippi State sit atop first NCAA Women's Basketball Committee top 16 reveal . Charlie has some thoughts.
Are you not STILL entertained?
#18 Michigan learned a lot from the overtime loss to #8 Ohio State, and they put it to good use, coming away with at 84-75 win IN Columbus.
Michigan head coach Kim Barnes Arico wouldn't let up. With 30 seconds remaining and her team leading No. 8 Ohio State 84-75, she screamed at her team from the sideline. The Buckeyes made their final push. The clock continued to tick.
Then with 12 seconds remaining, Wolverine junior center Hallie Thome pulled down the rebound after senior guard Asia Doss' off-balance 3-pointer clanked off the rim, sealing No. 19 Michigan's upset. Arico turned around and finally relented, breaking out in a smile and raising her arms to the sky before hugging senior forward Jillian Dunston, who stood behind her.
The Wolverines had done it.
Not to be outdone, Nebraska knocked off #20 Iowa.
An improved season for the Nebraska women's basketball season had still been missing something, but not anymore.
Nebraska defeated 20th ranked Iowa 74-65 on Tuesday at Pinnacle Bank Arena, giving Nebraska its first win against a ranked team this season in its third attempt at doing so, and coach Amy Williams' first win over a ranked opponent with the Huskers.
Unwilling to be part of a three-fer-upsetter, Maryland fought back in the fourth to down Indiana, 74-70.
#17 West Virginia, though, obliged, falling to #24 Oklahoma State, 79-73.
Told you I have no idea what's up with the Big East. Villanova falls to Penn, 79-77.
Another upset: Loyola (MD) over Bucknell, 68-65.
Yup! The A10's gonna be a battle. Dayton squeaked by Fordham, 63-62.
Listen Up! Sirius (ly): Around the Rim is now on @espnUonSiriusXM chanel 84 starting this Sunday.
Listen Up! Louisville coach Jeff Walz joins Mark Ennis and Luke Hancock.
Borislava Hristova, Washington State. Up in Pullman, they call her "Bobby Buckets." Hristova is a redshirt sophomore, having missed most of last season with a knee injury after establishing herself as an impact player as a freshman. She was leading the Cougars in scoring at the time of her injury. Hristova, who is tied for the Pac-12 scoring lead at 19.2 points a game, looks like she has shaken off any rust from sitting out last year. Last week, Hristova put up a career-high 36 points on 15-of-21 shooting against Colorado, tying for the third-most points in a game in program history. The Bulgarian native has put up seven 20-point game this season.
This past summer, Hebard traveled with USA Basketball's U19 team to Italy for the U19 FIBA World Cup. There, she got a look at her new teammates, Anneli Maley and Aina Ayuso, and played against some top-tier international talent.
Hebard's physicality has been hugely beneficial for Oregon. Now ranked No. 7 in the country — its highest ranking ever— the intensity is taken up another notch.
Butler's career GPS, though, introduced a few short detours. First there was a season at Georgetown, where the late-blooming 6-foot-5 center became an unexpected collegiate force and the Big East freshman of the year. Then came three years with the most famous program in the sport: Butler played in two Final Fours with Connecticut, won a national championship and graduated with a degree in communications. And then — recalculating, recalculating — the route finally wound back home to Mason.
BOOM! Barb Stevens joins the 1000 win club.
Barbara Stevens couldn't imagine being mentioned in the same conversation with Geno Auriemma and Pat Summitt.
Yet Bentley's longtime women's basketball coach has a chance to join those two icons in the 1,000-victory club on Wednesday. A win over Adelphi, which has beaten Bentley four straight times, would give Stevens 1,000 wins, making her the fifth women's college basketball coach to reach that milestone. Tara VanDerveer and Sylvia Hatchell are the others.
With a lack of worthy candidates and minimal conference tournament upsets, last season's NCAA tournament field included only one at-large bid for a mid-major team (Northern Iowa) — for just the second time in 10 years.
With the Big 12 possibly only a four-bid conference this year, the bottom half of the SEC struggling to find its footing and the American Athletic Conference showing a large drop-off after Connecticut and South Florida, the door appears wide open for multiple mid-major at-large entries.
If only there were as many worthy candidates.
During a timeout in the third quarter of his team's girls basketball game against Andrew Hill, James Lick coach Kyle McIntyre was about diagram a play when his players told him to turn around.
Andrew Hill was leaving the gym.
Lick led on its home court 56-25 on Thursday night when Joanne Winterstein gathered her players and walked out of the facility while yelling at and taking pictures of the referees, according to McIntyre.
WNBA All-Star guard Layshia Clarendon has filed a civil lawsuit against the regents of the University of California, alleging she was sexually assaulted by Mohamed Muqtar, a longtime Cal-Berkeley athletic department employee.
The suit, filed Wednesday in Alameda County Superior Court, claims negligence on the part of the regents, who oversee Cal-Berkeley. Muqtar, 61, who has worked in the athletic department for more than 25 years, also is named as a defendant. He is the assistant athletic director for student services and graduated from the school in 1987 with a degree in economics.

Iveco supplies i-Fast with LNG tractor units
Truckmaker Iveco has supplied ten Stralis tractor units powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) to i-Fast Automotive Logistics, the car carrier division of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) based in Italy and operating across Europe. Neither company disclosed the value of the deal.
According to Iveco, it is the first delivery in Europe of LNG-powered car transporter units. Iveco, which calls the model the New Stralis Natural Power, said it was the first natural gas vehicle designed for long-haul work. It runs on a 400hp Iveco Cursor 9 engine with Eurotronic transmission and features two LNG tanks, each with a 540-litre capacity, to give a range of up to 1,500km. The vehicles also offer advantages for inner city deliveries.
"The clean fuel used on these vehicles means they can freely access urban areas where increasingly stringent noise and pollution restrictions are being introduced," said the truckmaker in a statement.
Equipment maker Rolfo is supplying the trailers in the form of its Ego 427 model which it said met the needs of alternatively fuelled vehicles and the associated power supply to the trailers. The body is connected to the truck by a standard fifth wheel coupling.
Over the last few months, i-Fast has been testing Iveco's C-LNG truck model, which is fitted with tanks for both LNG and gaseous natural gas (GNG), on a range of different routes in northern and central Italy. The choice to go with LNG-powered trucks makes i-Fast Automotive Logistics the first car carrier to offer transport on such equipment. It said the decision was also based on expected developments in the Italian distribution network, where LNG fuelling stations are forecast to grow from six to ten this year.
The introduction of a fleet of LNG-powered car carriers is a first but follows a number of initiatives where car carriers have used compressed natural gas (CNG). As reported earlier this year, FCA spent two years on a $40m project to convert 179 tractor units from diesel to CNG for the delivery of parts to assembly plants from suppliers in the US state of Michigan.
Honda and Toyota have also introduced measures to increase the use of CNG in the delivery of vehicles.

Lured into a fetishistic play; materials beckon to be teased and manipulated, fluffed up and glossed. Swathes of organza lick cool steel, Egyptian cottons lay sodden, soft faux furs flirt with becoming sullied. Object becomes ornament. Painting becomes pattern. Fabric becomes framework.
Arrangement and precise placement activates the work, suggestive of a lustful touch.
Protruding. Straddling. Hanging. An aesthete's eye undresses the scene, noting moments of intimacy between materials. Brushed cotton fibres. Corpulent folds. Glossy blonde ponytails.
A seasoned, tasteful awareness of colour palette, pattern and texture are inherent in creating a dialogue which is then performed through the components relationships and proximities to each other.
The work endeavours to stimulate and titillate the observer. Proposed, Poised, Precise.

Abkhazia intend to shoot down alien aircraft, emerging over its territory without government permission
World » Former USSR
Sukhumy has declared its intention to shoot down any aircraft that will emerge over the Abkhaz territory without the permission of the Abkhaz government, Sergei Shamba, the unacknowledged republic' Foreign Minister, said in his interview with RIA Novosti on Monday.
According to him, at present Georgian combat helicopters frequent the region of the Marukhsky passage.
The helicopters are the American Iroquois, supplied to Georgia by the US, the Abkhaz side reports.
"Our military men watch the flights. They have not made efforts to shoot the helicopters down, while we are solving the problem in a political way. But they will next time," the head of the Abkhaz diplomacy stressed.
Shamba denied the Georgian side's allegations that earlier the Abkhaz side tried to bring down a Georgian helicopter in the Kodori gorge. "What happened was not an attempt to bring down the helicopter. It was a warning shot," Shamba said.
The Abkhaz Foreign Minister accused the Georgian government of "militarizing the region in contravention to all agreements." "At present they are even arranging their posts far beyond the limits of the Kodori gorge's upper part," he pointed out.
"They have their people in the mountains. There are no roads there, but the people need equipment, provision and shifts. And that necessitates constant flights," Shamba said.

Dunn: "We Could Have Gone On And Got The Three Points."
Interim manager David Dunn was happy with yesterday's point but felt his side could have gained all three.
Max Power gave Wigan Athletic a first half lead before Jordan Flores saw red for kicking out at Swansea City loanee Jay Fulton.
Dominic Poleon equalised with 15 minutes of the game remaining but Latics could not manage to find the winning goal and after the game, the gaffer gave his assessment of the performance.
He said: "I thought the lads worked very hard for each other. Wigan are a good side and will be there or there abouts at the end of the season. I thought we started pretty well.
"When they scored the goal, we were a bit off but we showed really good character in getting the equaliser. The sending off helps us but I thought at the end there was only one team who was going to win it.
"With a bit more patience more in our build up play, I think we could have gone on and got the three points today.
"In terms of the endeavour and commitment, though, I couldn't have asked anything more from the players."
Poleon came off the bench to score the equaliser, notching his first goal of the season.
"He looked lively when he came on," Dunn admitted. "It gives us food for thought now ahead of Tuesday. We know he has got pace and on another day, the one at the end he could have scored another.
"We were delighted with Dom. He made an impact and I thought all substitutes made an impact so I'm happy."
